Most people here would recommend the Quaife front diff over the nismo, as its a helical type diff instead of mechanical plates, helps with understeer under load. Also my diff guy doesn't like to install mechanical fronts as too much of the diff housing needs to be ground down to make them fit apparently

Additionally, note that for the gtx turbos, they aren't a bolt in affair, to get mine i needed to find a rear housing to suit and then get a front housing machined. As was mentioned in the first page, you should probably be able to get a turbo shop to do that using tx 2863's into your existing turbo housings. why not 2860's? because you cant machine something to be smaller than it already is.

You mean you'll get more lag and shift the mid range higher up the RPM..

Longer duration cams are not the answer to getting better response or making better mid range.. Yes you will make more torque yes you'll make more power but not where you want it.. and that's nice and early.

I have 272 by 10.8 cams on a 2.6 with -9 turbos and have full boost 21psi by 3800rpm on 98

put some smaller cams in you will get even better response.. and welcome back lol.. you went missing for a while

Check my build thread for very detailed Nismo install instructions including highlighted areas where to grind. It was not significant by any means.

Regarding the clutch diff vs helical...I think the nismo 1.5 instructions references that it is a lightly set clutch style...not crazy deceleration lockup (but I haven't driven mine yet). I'll let you know when I drive it.

I would also have chosen quaife but I would have had to become a dealer in the USA and buy 10 of them to get one!

Also nismo came with the bearings and seals. I don't think other ones do. (Tomei, quaife, etc).

Also don't forget you will be buying / ordering shims. The setup took a bit of time for me. I had to make 2 shims.

I understand there will be lag, but there is acceptable lag and a dyno graph that looks like a cliff face. Nothing and everything for a split second.

Dynos gives u info in one gear and WOT.

On the street you never load up 4th at 2000 rpm at WOT and wait for boost. Real world is different to a dyno.

Also the EFR are literally the fastest responding turbos on the market right now. Geoff at full race made 704whp through the 8374 EFR on a stock bottom 2.6 with lots of headwork on E85 through a cat.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
